Paille nears return; Kotalik in no rush

‘Kotalik has missed 13 games with a sprained knee. He’s unsatisfied with the lack of explosiveness when he skates. “I’m still not 100 percent, and I’m still feeling it in the different motions and in the movements,” Kotalik said. “I really need to be on top of my game, so until the pain goes away I’m not going to go out there. But I can see myself playing maybe at the start of next week.”’
